Chapter 29 Beauty's Schemes: Even married couples can get divorced, right?
Both sides were bustling with activity.
Song Ying's team had an extra teaching component, and although they were slow at first, the four of them worked together, so their overall progress was about the same as Shen Linzhou's team.
Under Song Ying's arrangement, Qin Shu was bending down to connect the poles when he suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on him. He instinctively looked over with vigilance, and his fierce, hunting eyes met Jiang Yueyao's deep gaze.
?
ill.
Qin Shu frowned, withdrew his imposing aura and his gaze, and continued to work with his eyes lowered.
What was clearly an ordinary reaction took on a different meaning in Jiang Yueyao's eyes.
Upon seeing that it was her, Qin Shu visibly lowered his guard, indicating that he actually harbored no ill will towards her.
Even under her gaze, Qin Shu felt a little shy and was embarrassed to even look her in the eye.
Looking at it this way, Jiang Yueyao became even more certain that Qin Shu's malice towards her was all caused by Song Ying, the instigator, sowing discord.
"Song Ying is really lucky to have a boyfriend who is both good-looking and wealthy. I don't know what Qin Shu sees in her, why he's willing to be with her. If you ask me, such an outstanding man deserves a woman who is also talented, beautiful, elegant, and intelligent. Don't you think so, Yueyao?"
Suddenly, Zhou Ruoyu, who was standing next to her, spoke up with a smile and took the initiative to call on Jiang Yueyao.
These words struck a chord with Jiang Yueyao, but when she turned around and met Zhou Ruoyu's gaze, Jiang Yueyao became wary. "Whether she's a good match or not, at least Song Ying is still Qin Shu's girlfriend."
“That’s true.” Zhou Ruoyu smiled, leaned closer to Jiang Yueyao, and lowered her voice, “But they’re just boyfriend and girlfriend, aren’t they?”
These words struck a chord with Jiang Yueyao instantly.
Yes, as long as they're not married, anything is still possible.
Even married couples can get divorced, right?
not to mention……
"That little internet celebrity last time, wasn't that the third time Shen Yingdi cheated on you? You've been together for four years, and he's cheated on you three times, and every time you have to clean up his messes. And that's just the ones who were caught on camera; who knows how many more times he's cheated on you without being caught? Yueyao, are you really willing to keep wasting your time with him like this?"
Jiang Yueyao's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Don't worry," Zhou Ruoyu laughed, "I turned off my headset. The recording equipment for the show is all with Shen Yingdi and the others, so no one can hear me."
"Ruoyu, what exactly are you trying to say?" Jiang Yueyao asked.
"I'm just feeling sorry for you." Zhou Ruoyu held the parasol in her hand over Jiang Yueyao's head. "Back when Shen Yingdi was pursuing you, he used such sweet words that everyone envied him. But how are your relationship with him these past few years? Others may not know, but don't you know yourself? It's just that you've been unwilling to see clearly, or rather, you haven't found a more suitable candidate yet."
"But now, this person has appeared." Zhou Ruoyu looked at Jiang Yueyao. "Have you heard of the Qin family in the capital?"
There are countless people in the world with the surname Qin.
But when it comes to the Qin family in the capital, there is only one.
"That streamer named Ye Lan has a very close relationship with the Qin family in the capital. He calls Qin Shu 'brother,' so with this relationship, Qin Shu is most likely a member of a collateral branch of the Qin family in the capital. Moreover, a friend of mine said that he once saw Qin Shu next to Qin Yong."
After the live broadcast in the morning, the entire internet was searching for Qin Shu's identity.
Jiang Yueyao would search out of curiosity, and Zhou Ruoyu would naturally not be idle.
This time, however, Zhou Ruoyu was better informed than her.
Jiang Yueyao recalled the Xu family banquet once again.
Back in the capital, the Xu family was just an ordinary wealthy merchant family, but after their marriage alliance with the Qin family, they jumped directly to the level of a second-tier aristocratic family, exuding nobility in every aspect.
Xu Lanyan's status also rose accordingly, transforming from the daughter of a nouveau riche into a renowned socialite in the capital, attracting countless suitors.
Jiang Yueyao has worked hard for so many years and has a place in the entertainment industry, but when she sees Xu Lanyan, she still has to be mindful of her feelings.
If Qin Shu's Qin is the same Qin from the Qin family in the capital, then even if he is from a collateral branch, he would be able to act with impunity in the capital.
Recalling Qin Shu's long-standing arrogance and his seemingly disdainful attitude, Jiang Yueyao finally understood that all of this was not without reason.
Qin Shu's identity was also more significant than she had previously guessed.
The jealousy and possessiveness that had long been brewing within Jiang Yueyao were now stirred up and filled her entire being.
However, she still retained a sliver of reason.
"Since you know all this, why don't you go yourself? Instead, you're trying to persuade me."
"Even if I were to do it myself, I would need to have the ability. In terms of looks and temperament, I am inferior to you in every way. Yueyao, to be honest, I am really jealous of you. Even if Shen Yingdi likes to cheat, at least on the show, he would never embarrass you. He is much better than that awful Qiao Yu."
Zhou Ruoyu chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Since the show started airing, what difference is there between me and a clown in the eyes of netizens? Haven’t I said enough insults about me online? I admit that sometimes I’m sarcastic and sometimes I even lose my temper with you, but that’s all because I’m too jealous and envious.”
Zhou Ruoyu looked at Jiang Yueyao, "Even in this harsh winter for the film and television industry, you remain evergreen, while I can no longer get good scripts. If it weren't for your recommendation, I wouldn't have gotten this variety show role. Even if I'm jealous of you, I know that only when you're doing well will I be doing well. What good would it do me to harm you?"
If Zhou Ruoyu feigns friendship and tries to appeal to Jiang Yueyao's emotions, Jiang Yueyao will most likely become even more wary.
But her candid admission of jealousy, targeting, and inner imbalance, revealing her inner turmoil without any concealment, actually boosted Jiang Yueyao's sense of superiority and made her lower her guard.
She took Zhou Ruoyu's hand and said, "Ruoyu, I understand your difficulties and I understand your feelings. I won't take today's events to heart, and you shouldn't overthink it. No matter what, we'll always be best friends, and if I ever have the chance in the future, I will definitely not forget you."
"Yueyao, you are so kind..." Zhou Ruoyu's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with tears.
The camera was focused on the busy people, and no one noticed this touching scene of sisterly affection.
-
The heat was intense; the grass, steamed by the sun, was scorching hot. Working under the blazing sun made one's throat feel parched.
"Everyone has worked hard, please have some water."
A gentle, sweet voice came from behind. Qin Shu turned around and saw Jiang Yueyao, dressed in a white dress, standing behind him, holding three bottles of water in her left hand and handing one bottle to him with her right.
Her wrists, as slender and beautiful as the moon, said, "Qin Shu, this is yours."
This sudden gesture of goodwill caused all four of them to stop what they were doing.
Sweetie, sitting next to Song Ying, was puzzled. "Sister Ying, what's Jiang Yueyao up to? Why isn't she giving water to Actor Shen and the others, but instead to us?"
Song Ying glanced over, her chin slightly raised, "Aren't they all drinking over there?"
"Is that really out of kindness?" Sweet Bean asked suspiciously. "It doesn't seem like it."
It's more believable that it's a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.
"She wouldn't drug the water and give us diarrhea, then slow down our progress in the game, would she?" Sweet Bean said nervously. "This is a tactical suppression!"
A black line appeared above Song Ying's head: "...You guessed right, don't guess next time."
As you can see, the bottle of water hasn't even been opened yet.
"Or perhaps she's trying to use her beauty to seduce Shu-ge?"
"...Read less novels and watch less melodramatic TV dramas."
Song Ying patted Tian Dou on the shoulder and continued working. Tian Dou became anxious, "Sister Ying, aren't you afraid that Brother Shu will fall for her honey trap?"
Song Ying didn't even look up: "Your premise is invalid."
Sweet Bean choked: "Yeah, Shu-ge is way prettier than her. But do you think Shu-ge would want her?"
"Of course we want him, why wouldn't we? He won't be ungrateful."
Qin Shu is wild and not to be trifled with, but that doesn't mean he's impolite.
The saying goes, "You can't hit someone who's smiling at you."
Sure enough, as soon as Song Ying finished speaking, Qin Shu took the water from the other end.
"Thanks."
The boy's roguish voice uttered two simple words, yet they stirred Jiang Yueyao's heart.
She had seen Qin Shu up close when they first met, but now his hair was slightly damp, his forehead was covered in fine sweat, and when he twisted the bottle cap, his arms were strong, exuding a deadly and attractive aura of hormones.
Jiang Yueyao's heart pounded, and a strange stirring arose within her. Her cheeks began to flush slightly. Just as she opened her mouth to say something, the figure in front of her moved.
He walked towards her.
Jiang Yueyao lowered her head shyly as a subconscious reaction.
As the scent of sandalwood drew near and then receded, the young man walked past her and went straight to Song Ying.
He handed over the wrung-out water bottle.
"Ah Ying, have a drink."
